POPLARVILLE - Wes Pfeiffer of Covington, La., has joined the Pearl River Community College staff as recruiter. Pfeiffer comes to PRCC after working during college and after graduation as chief operating officer of his father’s company, Pfeiffer Renovations LLC, in Covington. He holds the bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in German and a master’s degree in applied sociology with a focus on criminology from Southeastern Louisiana University. He worked in the Southeastern Honors and Study Abroad Office while earning his master’s degree. “I focused my interest in higher education,” he said. “It was never my intention to run my dad’s company, but it was a better job than working at McDonald’s.” Pfeiffer’s decision to expand his job search into South Mississippi came after his fiancé` took a job in Harrison County. His boss at Southeastern advised him to consider recruiting jobs at community colleges as well as four-year institutions. “I did a lot of recruiting for the study abroad program,” Pfeiffer said. “I thought everything I did there would carry over here.” Pfeiffer will be working with Casey Rawls, PRCC’s director of recruitment and orientation, to attract high school seniors and others to the college. “I’m excited about his level of professionalism and customer service and his personal experiences,” she said. “I think he’s a good addition to our team.”
